The '''undead glitch''' is a [[glitch]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' that allows {{b|Giga Bowser|Final Smash}}, [[Wario-Man]], [[Giga Mac]], [[Mega Charizard X]], or [[Mega Lucario]] to survive after being defeated in [[Stamina Mode]].  
The '''undead glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that allows characters to survive after being KO'd in [[Stamina]] mode if they are using a transformation-based [[Final Smash]] upon reaching zero HP. Should this occur, the character using the Final Smash will revert to their normal form and continue to be able to fight, despite having "0 HP" displayed. Being touched by any hitbox (even if it deals no damage, like a [[Banana Peel]] or [[F.L.U.D.D.]]), being hit by a status move (such as being put [[asleep]]), or doing something that normally recovers HP (such as eating [[Food]]) will KO the character.


When this occurs, if Giga Bowser, Giga Mac, Mega Charizard X, or Mega Lucario's HP is depleted, their [[hit points|stamina]] gets reduced to 0 HP (zero hit points) and their transformations are undone. Then they are able to continue to fight (despite having "0 HP" displayed). Being touched by any hitbox even if it deals no damage (a [[Banana Peel]], [[F.L.U.D.D.]] from {{SSBB|Mario}}, or [[Water Gun]] from {{SSBB|Squirtle}}) or hit by a status move (such as being put [[asleep]] or using recovery items which normally recover HP like [[Food]]) gets the character KO'd. A 0 HP Bowser, Little Mac, Charizard, or Lucario can freely get another [[Smash Ball]] to trigger the glitch again. 
It is possible for an undead character to win a fight if they remain untouched. However, Wario in ''Brawl'' is an exception; he loses his damage meter upon triggering the glitch and counts as being KO'd, and the match will end in his defeat even if he tries to outlast the other players. In ''SSB4'', Wario behaves like all other characters.
 
With the exception of Wario-Man in ''Brawl'', it's possible that an undead character can win a stamina match if they remain untouched (with 0 HP). If they defeat all of their opponents as described above, they (with zero hit points) can win a match. Upon triggering the glitch with Wario-Man in ''Brawl'', however, he loses his damage meter, and is therefore counted as having been KO'd. This also means that if the match is 1-on-1 then the match ends when Wario-Man gets KO'd. This is not the case when doing a 3-4 player VS. If Wario-Man (in ''Brawl'') defeats his opponents, the winner becomes the last opponent who was defeated by Wario-Man's attack. However, in ''Smash 4'', Wario-Man behaves like all characters.
 
With the removal of full moveset transformation [[Final Smash]]es in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the undead glitch does not occur in the game.

**Note that because Wario-Man is normally invincible, he must damage himself to perform the glitch (either from [[Magnifying-Glass Damage]] and/or eating explosive items).
